Causes of blood thickening
As you know, blood is the main living medium, all processes that take place in human cells and organs completely depend on its quality. If the quality of blood is disturbed, first of all, it concerns thickening, acidification and an increase in cholesterol, then as a result, the main transport function of the blood begins to function poorly, and this all can lead to the fact that redox processes in human tissues and organs are disrupted, including liver, kidney, brain and so on.
Each person should remember that the quality of the basic living environment, that is, blood, should be maintained within the range of optimal homeostasis.

Blood is more than 90% water. The human body, when drinking chlorinated, dirty, destructured and carbonated water with high surface tension (tap water - up to 73 dynes / cm2), spends a large amount of cellular energy to transform water.
- There is another reason for impaired blood quality - enzymatic deficiency. In the human body, under the action of enzymes, a complete breakdown of proteins into amino acids begins to occur, including fats, that is, lipids, carbohydrates, and so on. Fermentopathy leads to the fact that under-oxidized decay products of lipid and protein molecules enter the bloodstream, subsequently a violation of biochemical processes in the blood occurs, contributing to the adhesion of erythrocytes and, as a result, leading to oxygen disturbance of tissues and cells.
- Thickening of the blood can also occur if general acidification of the body has occurred.
- There is one more reason for the thickening of the blood - this is the excessive blood-destroying function of the spleen.
- Dehydration of the body with high physical exertion and in very hot climates.
- Poorly absorbed liquid or not drunk enough. Along with blood flow, water fills our body with nutrients and oxygen, which are delivered to the cells. Its process can be compared with the action of a solvent, that is, it thins the blood and helps to better absorb it with the help of nutrients.
- Blood thickening can occur due to the harmful effects of radiation.
- Likewise, if you consume large amounts of simple carbohydrates and sugar.
-
Lack of vitamins and minerals, for example, such as vitamin C, lecithin, selenium, zinc and others, can also lead to thickening of the blood, since these vitamin products are actively involved in the production of enzymes and hormones. This disadvantage is caused by poor functioning of the liver, which is the most important biochemical laboratory of the human body and needs timely cleansing measures. And this is due to the fact that the liver is constantly under stress, and especially among those people who are used to eating smoked, canned, sweet and meat foods, as well as who have linked their lives with harmful working conditions and live in an unfavorable ecological environment. …
- And the last reason for today is insufficient salt intake, since blood is a saline solution.

At the very beginning, I want to say that not only proper nutrition, but also a sufficient amount of drinking contributes to blood thinning, since everyone knows that our blood consists of ninety percent of water. According to medical research, all people who suffer from vascular diseases drink catastrophically little plain water, although for each of them this is a matter of life and death, especially in hot weather. Since it is in the heat that the number of strokes and heart attacks increases dramatically, that is, a person sweats, loses a large amount of moisture, as a result, the vessels narrow and the blood thickens.
Therefore, to replenish the physiological costs of the body and to ensure the usefulness of metabolic processes, every day try to drink at least two or two and a half liters of good quality water. By the way, this is the first and most important natural remedy that will help thin the blood. If you use dirty, chlorinated or destructed water, as we said above, then the body will spend a large amount of energy for its formation at the intracellular level.
In addition to water, it is also recommended to consume mint or green tea and natural juices made from fruits and vegetables. By the way, juices made from lemon, red grapes, tomato, orange, cranberry and other sour berries are considered especially useful for varicose veins. You should try to give up alcohol and beer, as these drinks are diuretic products that contribute to dehydration and lead to thickening of the blood.
If you suffer from thrombophlebitis, it will be very helpful for you to include a mixture of garlic, onions, lemon and honey in your diet. Recipe: combine two hundred grams of onions, one hundred grams of garlic, fifty grams of lemon and one hundred grams of honey. Mix all the ingredients well and take 1 teaspoon 3 times a day.
